If Adele truly is doing the theme, I'll give them the benefit of the doubt. Worse comes to worse, at least the vocals themselves will be strong. Shame on whomever messes it up, if it is indeed a floundered opportunity.

I liked the idea of Jack White and Alicia Keys doing the song for QOS because they did some good work before and it seemed interesting they would work together for it. But man, that turned out to ATROCIOUS. Where the fuck did that go wrong? Again, B23's song better not be cursed.
I pegged Alicia Keys as a bad choice immediately (I can't stand her singing)... and she didn't disappoint.

That's racism pure and simple.

Disliking her singing is actually common sense.

It's only half racist since she's only half black.

I doubt she will be recording any Bond theme anytime soon

Adele has only cancelled her 2011 tour dates. She obviously expects to be back in business come the new year. With BOND 23 being released a year from now, that gives her plenty of time to record a theme. Especially if she put off surgery to record the demo tape and submit it.

I might be in the minority here but I don't like this song at all. I usually love adult contemporary, but not this. Wonder what ever happened to Dido, thought she would be perfect around the time No Angel came out.

I like the verse, but the shouty Whitney Houston chorus is pretty grating.
